My hours were reduced at work so I needed a little something,and found someone to clean for 2 years ago.It was 5 hours,but the family members grew( blended family) plus a couple of new bathrooms and lots of ironing.it became more than I needed or wanted.with permission I got my friend in to help.All went well for 9 months till my friend wanted to leave as she'd started her own business and it was taking off.i asked on a Facebook group and didn't get much interest.one person let me down ,one turned up.i told her it was my job and she would be helping me.from day one ,if I ask her to do something shell argue about it,or just not do something the way I've shown her.she lies all the time.i ask her if she's used a product ,she'll say yes,when I point out she hasn't she says she was going to do it later.so many times she's done this.its not to my standard.i asked the clients if they were happy with her work.they said yes.( I'm not)she sent me a Facebook friend request .I reluctantly accepted.looked at her profile.its full or scantily clad pictures of herself.( She's A 40 year old mother of 2)nothing rude,but very booby,and very cutaway swimsuits that leave little to the imagination.her legs are completely covered in tattoos,and a lot of her body ,and she's planning more.she has a nose stud.big false lashes and talons.i mean these false nails curl over ,they are so long.i don't know how she can clean with them.in the eighties I used to have a stall at Camden market in the punk era.im used to fashion extremes,but I don't think you should flaunt it at work.this week she turned up in really short shorts.she has a bubbly personality and says she enjoys cleaning.this week she was chatting to one of the teenagers at the house as she was helping herself to milk from the fridge for her coffee(I just take my own drink),and it turns out they've friended each other,then was asking the teen if she could do her a spray tan as she's going away today.she runs a little business selling gifts and has already sold some to the family.today she put a post on Facebook announcing she's being whisked away on a surprise holiday,that she knew nothing about,and wondered why her mum had come over,yet she'd already told me weeks ago about this holiday and that her mum was coming to look after the kids.im a very private person and all this is the total opposite to me.shes younger than me with a great figure,but I really don't think she should dress like that in someone's home.yesterday outside the house we watched as someone reversed into my car,although she was a witness,she just got in her car and left.i was quite upset,and if that was me I would have stayed for support. feel like walking away from it and leaving her to it,but I need the money.sorry it's so long..aibu?

Sorryisntgoodenough Thank you for the flowers.very perceptive of you.the car thing,I would stay with someone,it's just something I would do.i was probably more upset than I normally would be as I'm getting a new one Tuesday,and now trading it in with a big dent in it.

Doesnt sound like she has much idea of what is appropriate.
To stay after crash
Take instructions.
Be honest.
Wear suitable clothing for the job.
Dignity.
Relating inappropriately to clients.

Moving forward, you can use what you have learned when hiring the next person.

Stand back and let her bring herself down, she doesnt need your assistance!

@Onacleardayyoucansee OP isn't an employer, she recruited someone on FB to share a cpl of hours a week cleaning one house with her. It turns out she doesn't like the other woman because she has; tattoos, false nails, chats to the family they clean for, wears shorts when it's hot, and bikinis on holiday. OP doesn't want to quit the sideline job, but can't fire this woman as she's also doing a sideline job and it's not an official company. In all fairness they're probably both just topping up a bit of cash in hand for 5hrs a week...OP you really need to either suck it up or quit yourself tbh. You're trying to micro manage someone whose not your employee and is on a complete level pegging with you beyond you offering the job share in the first place.
